The Regency Auction 43

详细说明: A "perfect" collector grade example of the first year of regular Federally issued coinage. Absolutely beautiful for the Choice XF grade, this is an ideal example for any collector. Indeed, XF45 is an ideal grade for this one year only early type; many in lower grades have minor (or major) issues, and AU and higher grades come with price tags that are untouchable by many. This grade is truly the "Goldilocks" just right sweet spot. Smooth, even, milk chocolate brown surfaces are hard, generally devoid of any serious pitting, corrosion, or planchet flaws that can plague these early copper coins. We note just a few tiny planchet voids scattered about on the reverse, which was caused by the pressure from rolling out the planchet stock. The wear is generally limited to the highest points of the design types. There are no extraneous marks or discolorations of any kind. Struck from an intermediate die state (Manley 2.0) of the Cohen-1, Breen-1 die marriage, which is rated R-3+. Evidence of the die state is the weakness of HALF CENT on the reverse, which is a tad soft in comparison to all the other devices. PCGS 37, NGC 6, CAC 6. This is the example that sold two years ago for $24,000. Prior to that, one sold in April 2013 for $31,725. The CAC CPG value is $24,000. Keep in mind the last PCGS AU50 CAC sold in 2019 for $37,200. This is the ideal type coin for anyone building an early federal type set. Bidding will be fierce! Cert. Number 34689519.00 PCGS # 1000.00
